NWIL Allies ,

We are so excited about the upcoming Field Celebrate Life at ONU May 10-12, 2018. We are so happy that NWIL has so many students participating in Field Celebrate Life this year. Below is the process for registering. Please make sure that all participants that were chosen for a team can attend CL at ONU. If they cannot, please let us know by March 5. At that time we will contact the alternate. Reminder: This is event is for 7th-12th grade only!

Registration deadline: Friday, March 16

  • Cost: $130 if postmarked on or before March 16
  • Cost: $150if postmarked after March 16

Registration Process:

1. Check personal/school calendars for availability to attend Celebrate Life @ ONU May 10-12.

2. Return registration forms to Kim Brock

3. Mail hard copy and payment on or before March 16 to:

Pekin First Church of the Nazarene

ATTN: Kim Brock

3514 Broadway Street

Pekin, IL 61554

Included in mailing:

  • Hard copy of Registration Form/Permission Slip,Rock Climbing Waiver for each participant & sponsor (with all signatures)
  • Copy of Insurance Card for each participant & sponsor (front & back)
  • Sponsors must fill out a registration form/permission slip & waivers
  • Payment of $130 per participant & sponsor (if postmarked by March 16)
  • Check payable to: NWIL-NYI

Each church must provide the following ratio of sponsors to participants they send. We could not possibly have the quality Celebrate Life we want to provide or the safety needed if we do not have enough sponsors. The ratio is one sponsor per five participants. Please make sure to have the correct ratio of male & female sponsors for the participants your church is bringing.

Example: 8 male participants = 2 male sponsors, 11 female participants = 2 female sponsors

We realize some churches are smaller than others and may not be able to send a sponsor. We suggest that the churches on each zone get together and help each other with sponsor needs or contact your zone facilitator for assistants.

1-5 participant – ONE sponsor

6-10 participants – TWO sponsors

11-15 participants – THREE sponsors

16-20 participants – FOUR sponsors

20-25 participants – FIVE sponsors

If your church does not have the correct ratio of sponsors to participants, the Celebrate Life Director will contact you. If we do not have enough adult sponsors to cover the registered participants, the participants from churches failing to meet the participant to sponsor ratio will not be able to attend Celebrate Life.

All sponsors attending must stay on campus in the dorms for the entirety of the event. You are responsible for keeping track of your participants and making sure they are abiding by all rules and getting to all events in a timely manner.
